I think we can state the obvious; now that Manvi knows about her cancer, being aware of her nature, it is most likley than not that she will go to the ends of the world to hide this truth from Jeevika.

In a practical sense, yeah, she could do that for a couple of days, but when her treatment starts and all the Choudhary's are aware, then the Vadhera's will be aware and somewhere in the middle, Jeevika will find out. Personally, I think when Jeevika finds out, she won't break like we'll expect her to - we'll finally witness her inner strength which we first caught a glimpse of at the aftermath of Karva Chauth when she sheltered Manvi from Beeji's anger.

We'll see a new side of this relationship, Jeevika's defensiveness and possesiveness will come to the forefront whilst Manvi's reliance on Jeevika will become crucial. Through this we'll see all the drama surrounding their bond - how this will affect Jeevika's relationships with her in-laws. I mean, realistically, if your sibling had contracted a life threatning illness, then they will be constantly in your thoughts, so I think all the 'problems' people have been prophesising that will occur between Jeevika and her in-laws won't be as big as we've imagined because in those situations, that's the natural reaction to have.

And this is the idea my friend had the other day: Manvi will become like Aman from Khal Ho Na Ho. She, whilst being ill, will take it upon herself to bring happiness into everyones life. She'll try and become the matchmaker between Maya and Virat (hence the whole Maya saga), and in the process she'll start having feelings for him but won't act upon them because she firmly belived in Maya-Virat jodi. As she pushes him away, they'll grow closer (and unlike at their current states) they will fall in love. But, obviously, there will be lots of hungama; you could throw in a pregnant Jeevika, and Doctors telling Manvi she's one of the 90% who won't recover properly ect, ect - all of which will stretch out the show as long as it can.

If the CVs fling in bone marrow donations as the main treatment program, then I will not be happy - I think the stats are at 20-30% of leukemia suffer's actually go through that, so by far, not the most common treatment. I hope they start it off realisticlly, with the chemo, supplementing that with other treatments. I just wonder how medically accurate they want to be: will Nia wear a bald cap through filming because hair loss is probably one of the bigger side effects of chemotherapy treatment for leukemia. It's not the first time we're seeing cancer on Indian TV; the first instance I can remember is Prerna and Anurag's daughter Sneha in KZK - that was terribly picturised, but it can be forgiven because that was the norm back then.

With the likes of DMG under their belts, hopefully EHMMBH will become a trend setter and a point of innovation for Indian serials, making that degree of reality crucial in the plotline. The soaps I watch in the UK - Eastenders, Corrie - despite being fictional actually have that crucial degree of realism which is unique and unlike other places in the world. So, yeah, hopefully ( and this is a huge 'hopefully' ) the CVs won't srew the rest of the show up as they have with each and every track they've done so far.

Thanks for reading and please share what you think about the future plot =]

Nice post...

I hope it all happens this way. One thing Im not sure is will M go back to rishikesh or not. Coz if she does then it will be kept a secret for long from J and vaderas...on the contrary if he doesn't go then it will be disclosed to all soon...I hope they pick up the pace from here on. However it happens I do agree with u the J will demo a stronger side once the revelation happens...

I think Manvi will now want to go back to Hrishikesh because:

1. She desperatley won't want Jeevika to find out, staying in Chandigarh would mean that Jeevika will sooner or later suss it out.
2. Manvi's not stupid; she'll realise that the most important thing for her is to start her treatment which is ALREADY late thanks to a certain Beeji.

This is my prediction anyway because I know what these CVs are like. I really want her to just tell Jeevika and we'll see the sister's consoling each other which will then lead to a shift for Jeevika back to Hrishikesh to look after Mannu - that is what would happen in real life, you'd have the Vadhera's coming down to visit every weekend or whenever. For Manvi to pick up sticks and go to Chandigarh would mean isolating her family, the people she should be around, unless the rest of the Choudhary's follow suit to Chandigarh. All in all, it's quite easy to predict what these CVs will do, I just don't like the way this is heading :P

I haven't seen the episode yet but I pretty much concur with your thoughts. No second guesses for Manvi trying to hide it all from Jeevika. She will do everything to keep the truth away from her sister but I don't know if they will show Jeevika's growing anxiousness. Surely she must have more reason to worry now!

There is that hidden side to Jeevika which I think is actually the trump card because she's been to be shown as such an obedient daughter and daughter-in-law that to see her 'rebel' will be quite a revelation and should be something extraordinary.

You're absolutely right that when a close family member is suffering from such a deadly disease then you automatically think about them most of the time but I think they'll show Jeevika overly possessive and protective over Manvi which will cause the conflict. At least in practical terms, we would allow ourselves to share the burden with others but I think Jeevika will want to take full responsibility on herself. Her mind works in a way which she is unaware of herself. Till now, we have seen Jeevika bring up Manvi in almost all her conversations with Viren. That was just a trailer me thinks! Also I don't see her going to visit Manvi in Hrishikesh, I see her actually making her stay with her in Chandigarh against everyone's wishes.

For now I hope Manvi doesn't even waste her thoughts on Virat-Maya but maybe after some time once Virat does find out about her illness, he will volunteer himself to make an effort with Maya but by then obviously VM will be in love.


I have wondered if they will show Manvi sporting a bald look and I really think if they stay true the practicalities of it all then they will. It's going to be heartbreaking for sure but definitely want to see how it all unfolds.

Jeevika's reaction is my most awaited...by far and I think everyone sitting at home is just waiting to see how she reacts to it all.

:) ideally I just want J to know ASAP. Infact I was hoping since the cancer track started that J will know about it before M...It would have been nicer to explore that angle where for a change J hides her pain from M. This almost like the wedding part 2. Anyways now that things have taken a diff turn I hope J knows soon. But I highly doubt the treatment will happen in rishikesh. Even if M goes there it will be brief is what I think but lets see the CVs have always managed some surprises and ruined every single track post wedding :) so as of now just waiting :) and btw the whole scenario of J moving to rishikesh like in reality will not happen...it's a tv drama by the end of the day... :))

One thing I don't get is that why is Beeji hiding it from J. Let's assume for a minute that it's last stage cancer and M gets serious in rishikesh...how will she ever face J... Isn't it her duty to inform J? At least now!!

I think Jeevika will be pivotal in all this; her reaction to the truth and her actions following it will hopefully bring some sort of semblance back to this show. I'm having a hard time trying to comprehend how possesive and protective she'll be because as far as I've witnessed, it's a naural reaction. At times (I shoudn't be saying this to you Reema as you are the BIGGEST behna fan) the whole relationship seems not that special.

I guess it's an effect of the CVs watering down of the characters - can you honestly say that the JV scenes of today are of the same calibre as the ones when they first started, for instance the ghat scene. I'm not picking out the acting here, but the writing; Krytsle and Nia are soo versatile, they can do anythig with ease and make it believable, but even they can't work round shoddy scripts. Hence why I find it difficult to see Jeevika go to a bigger extreme than normal people would, but I am eagerly waiting to see how it would be presentable.

As for Chandigarh, heck I want Jeevika to go back home so that Manvi's in her own habitat surrounded by HER family, the people who love her to death. That's my personal little dream in my head :L Get Viren to fulfill the 'whole month house husband' deal he made, but alas it won't happen :P

Absolutely, in today's scene though nia was superb the whole revelation was not as effective...thanks to all the dragging. The sisters are surely missing chemistry off late...infact I think ppl are still watching this show only coz of the actors...not just nia and krystle but the all of them barring maya :)
I'm hoping Jeevikas reaction will hold key in many ways...if that's done well then they can hopefully rebuild on the chemistry between the behnas. Not just the sisters the scenes between virman and virika have also lost thr magic...so hoping :)

LMAO, TV drama's frustrate me to no end! I just want better writing from the PH man :'(
I totally agree with you on the wedding part 2; I wanted to see how Jeevika would react to a situation where she's burdening all the pain just like Manvi did at the wedding, but gah CVs :@
I think Manvi's at a early stage of her cancer, so hopefully no really really bad deteriorations of her health. I understand where Beeji's reluctance to tell comes from because she dosen't want anyone else to burden the pain of the truth but t doesn't excuse the God awful dragging. CVs are hell bent to ruin the characters, seriously they just don't care at times; you see a step forward in the plot but a leap back in terms of the characturisation - frustration!!

LMAO do you mean not so special from Jeevika's side? Or the entire relationship? I don't know man. I mean I am most emotionally attached to my younger sister and I think even I would do anything and everything to you know (I don't want to say it because the thought of it is enough to make me freak out). We'll just have to see how far they go for each other I guess. I think what will makes JM special to me is that they still put each other above others (sometimes not obviously) and in the real world siblings naturally drift apart and lead their own lives. But in JM's case they've barely been apart really.

The whole quality of the show isn't the same as the first 3 months dude. The way everything was shot and depicted had it's own essence but truth be told, they have actually watered down JM's relationship for some reason. We used to get them in every episode once upon a time but it's not the case any more. Why has that happened? No idea. Maybe they don't want to overexpose their relationship but then I think it worked for them before so what's stopping them now?

Like I said elsewhere, me continuing to watch this show is mostly if not wholly dependant on Jeevika's reaction. If that doesn't meet my expectations then I don't see the point of the show because the entire premise of EHM is a story of two sisters who go to extremes for each other.


@Pooja: That's why I want J to be really angry at Beeji! She had no right to hide such a big truth from her.
